This is not a critical issue - I have the function working using CFFILE’s
append method. I’m mainly interested in learning the right way to do this
sort of thing for the future.
When I was Googling information on using CFFILE, I came across a 2007 blog
entry from Ben Nadel that showed a more efficient way to build the CSV and
I wanted to try it out.
When I attempt to use a stringBuffer created object (tostring) as the
CFFILE output, Lucee returns “Can’t cast Complex Object Type Query to
String, Use Built-In-Function “serialize(Query):String” to create a String
from Query”
It returns this message even when using serialize.
The object works as expected when dumping or writing to cfoutput.
My environment is:
Test server running Lucee 4.5.1.023 on Windows Server 2012 R2, IIS 8
Production server running Lucee 4.5.1.022 on Debian (Hostmedia.co.uk VPS)
Also, I have AFC 10 and 11, both running on Server 2012 R2, at the day job
and usually cross-test there.
I’ve attached two files.
sbuffer.cfm is from my AFC servers and shows that the basic
functionality works there - I know that compatability varies by function,
just showing how it works.
javapickSchool.cfm is from Lucee. I’ve included a copy of the query
functions I call from the CFC, a few remarks about what the code is doing,
and I’ve also commented out variations that did not work.
Please keep in mind that I’m an experienced tester but a novice programmer,
so if I’m doing something stupid, you’ll help me a lot by pointing it out.
Also, let me know if you need any more information!

i have reviewed your code and i think i have found the problem, i cannot
execute the code because i miss the enviroment so i’m not a 100% sure, but
99% ;-).
The exception says that the failure is happening on line 66, what would be
this line:
you assumed that “swapNames” is the problem (assumptions can be our biggest
enemy ), but in my opinion the problem is
“getExportSchoolName” so the value for the attribute “file” what need to be
a string (as the exception indicate).
on line 21 you do this:
so “getExportSchoolName” is for sure not a string, as the exception
indicates it could be a query.
should the value for the attribute “file” be “exportFileName”?
hope this helps

See Lucee at CFCamp Oct 22 & 23 2015 @ Munich Airport, Germany - Get your
ticket NOW - http://www.cfcamp.org/
You, sir, are a wizard, making fire for cavemen, and I thank you.
I was totally fixated on the output and never considered that the problem
could be file path or name.
Thank you!On Thursday, September 3, 2015 at 8:01:30 AM UTC-4, Doug Roberson wrote:
